I am only a beginner (returning to the sport after years) and really pushed my skills and the car as far as I could tonight, but the car let me down a bit, the main issue is the ball joints pop off shoud you even glance the pipe. Are there any better ones I can put on?
Also going to be phoning Durango tomorrow to discuss these shock towers, i cant be affording these at nearly £30 a pop every meeting, could I have bought some with a dodgy weave? Ive seen people collide full pelt with brick walls and not brake them, Ive done nothing like that!

To be fair pete the cars go through some hammer on the tracks and breaking a shock tower is just 1 of those things, plus you have bought a top spec car and the shock towers are 4mm so they are gunna be expensive, you wouldnt buy a Ferrari and then complain about the service cost (just an exsample), ive had my durango for some time now and raced on all kinds of surfaces never broke anything, no ball cups coming off until i crashed of a jump hard at york the other night and broke a shock tower, to be fair i would have been very supprised if i hadnt broke anything, again just 1 of those things, thats racing
